Simple question I need a definitive answer, wont let me post in B&M
 

Ok, I need a definitive answer, as my AC trip hingers on this. If you are in a casino underage, with NO id, and u get carded, can a casino (specifically the taj), but also in general, confiscate your chips? I have tried searching the archives and recent posts to no avail.

Mods, please dont lock this post until this issue is definitively answered. Thank you.

call the casino and find out.

Haha you were [censored].

Also, in Vegas, underagers were able to have a friend cash them out.

To give you a nonsarcastic answer... you are illegally trespassing on private property. They can have you arrested... and they might if you irritate them. As for confiscating your chips... probably not, but are you really willing to risk it?

Play online until you can do it legally elsewhere. Its not worth the misery if you get caught.

Re: Simple question I need a definitive answer, wont let me post in B&M
 

I can tell you with almost complete certainty that they will not confiscate your chips. Whether legally they are entitled to or not I can't tell you for sure, but I have been with underaged friends when they couldn't produce ID and seen the same thing on several other occasions, and confiscating chips never even entered the equation.

Re: Simple question I need a definitive answer, wont let me post in B&
 

First of all the casino can only suspect you of being underage and ask to see some id. If you can't provide them with one then they are entitled to order you off the premises. But this doesnt mean anything has been proved and of course they cant confiscate your chips - that would be stealing from you.

last time I was in las vegas, I played three card poker at harrah's and didn't get carded when I sat down to play.

I ended up losing and went to the cage with two $25 chips and the cashier asked me for ID and i said I didn't have any. she told me if I didn't have any ID they would keep the chips.

I ended up letting them keep the chips because I didn't want any trouble. so, yes, the problem has come up before.

I sure hope so.

Re: Simple question I need a definitive answer, wont let me post in B&
 

Yes, they can and will. I was in Tunica with a friend and he was underage and the situation happened where he went to cash out and couldnt produnce an ID and they kept his chips and had him escorted from the building.

So far we have gotten answers everywhere from No way, probably not, probably, and definately. Does anyone know for sure. Can someone find a link to the applicable policies or laws? I sure know I couldnt...

it just depends on the casinos rules, i guess. i don't know if a casino would have a written rule on whether or not if an underage player is caught gambling, they will keep their money. just call the casino and ask them. they're not going to track down your phone number.

if you asked people if it was illegal to speed and some people said they didnt get speeding tickets. others said they did get tickets. what would you conclude?

also are you this lazy? i just did a search in the B&M forum for the last year for "underage" and got 176 hits. you can probably find something in there.

definitive answer: maybe

thread can be locked now. thank you, drive through.

Seriously though, people get way too freaked out about being underage in a casino. It will be VERY rare if you get carded in most poker rooms and most fakes should do just fine. It's not like they are going to let you buy chips, than say ID and kick you out and take the chips.

Re: Responses.
 

While I also got as many hits, almost none addressed this issue or were applicable, and if they did, the issue was not answered definitively. Your kind of condescending attitude really gets on my nerves, and that of a lot of other posters. I did nothing to antagonize you and would appreciate you treat me with respect until I give you reason otherwise.

Re: Responses.
 

Again, thanks for your sarcasm and lack of constructive input.

Re: Simple question I need a definitive answer, wont let me post in B&
 

Why is this such a difficult question? Call the New Jersey Gaming Commission, or whatever they have there, and ask. Do it from a pay phone if you're paranoid.

Whether a casino licensed by the state can confiscate your chips is not a matter of casino policy, rumor, whim, or urban legend. It's a matter of law. Ask them. While you have them on the phone ask what else can happen to you if you get caught underage in a casino, without ID, or with a fake one.

Re: Responses.
 

Dude, you're asking people to do your research for you. Multiple posters have said they've seen it happen, and while there's some small chance the casinos did it illegally, the logical conclusion is, yes, they can take your chips if you're underage.

This isn't hard.

How old do you look? I played at the Taj since i was 21 and have never been carded. If you really look underage then they might card you, but if not you may be safe.

and the borgata WILL card you
